A Romford corporate video-maker has received rave reviews from his peers for his latest release.

Peter Walters, of the Power Visual video production company, brought out ‘Cash From Your Camcorder' last month – and it's already been given the stamp of approval by industry journals like the Institute of Videography's ‘Focus' magazine.

He hopes their endorsement will help him open video production – normally something reserved for specialist companies – to the masses, by showing amateur camcorder fans how to get financial recognition for their talents.

The 61-year-old gives advice on how to use advertising and the web to their full potential when promoting a film, and also how to find the right distributor.

He said: “I've seen similar films which were made by Americans like Bill Myers, but they were aimed at an American audience and didn't really translate to the UK market.

“The premise is a good one though – if a film-maker chooses a special interest video and markets it properly, they can make a good income out of it.

“For instance, I sold 5,000 copies of one title [Successful Show-jumping with Tim Stockdale] in the first year of release. It's sold 11,000 copies altogether since I released it in 2004.

“And there's no reason why most camcorder enthusiasts couldn't do it – as long as they follow my advice of course!”

Mr Walters is currently in negotiations with a number of distributors to bring the film to a wider audience. In the meantime, copies are available from Power Visual on 0800 074 2367, or via email at peter@powervisual.com .
